Maybe I Should Go to Israel and Find Some Love Okay. So being single can be a great thing--once you get past all the pain of being dumped. I'm still getting used to the idea that I don't have a boyfriend and I can flirt liberally with ANY GUY I WANT (not to say I didn't do that anyway, but shhhh, don't tell anyone)! First, I need to first re-establish my independence and then, see whether I'm ready for another relationship. It may take weeks, even months, but hey, who's counting? Of course, then I actually need to meet the man of my dreams. Lol

Sunflowers and Ballerinas Hi, everyone. I just got back from work...12-8 shift (ughhh). I've been sooo busy lately, which explains why I haven't updated since I got home. Just wanted to let you all I didn't vanish off the face of the planet. All is fine here. Hope everyone's doing well! AIM me at zepwriter88 if you want to catch up.

I'm back home for the semester. Yes. I'm a delinquent. I withdrew. But it wasn't for reasons like flunking or getting caught with drugs. I swear.

I left for several reasons. First of all, I knew subconsciously that I didn't want to be at Simon's Rock all along. I stuck it out for a year because I felt like I had to and I really had some good times in between the rough spots. Plus, being with Josh totally helped me get through the spring semester when I was falling apart emotionally. He helped me keep myself together and I guess that's why I loved/am getting over loving him. But things changed, he needed to move on, and he broke up with me. For perfectly understandable reasons, I suppose. But I'm not blaming him for my withdrawal from Simon's Rock. It's like this: I stayed mainly because of him. Now that I'm no longer with him, I'm free to think and act for myself. It feels almost relieving. I've discovered a million things about myself, among them, the fact that I don't want to be at Simon's Rock - nor could bear it -. So, I'm here. Yes, in NJ. And I'm applying to schools for the spring, some of which include TCNJ, Rutgers, Rider, and Temple. Hopefully they'll take me.

It's Insomnia Subway has left it's mark, like a painfully deep bootprint in my head. The slightest sound sends my head throbbing and when I shake it or move around too much, forget about it-the pain is unreal.

To top it off, I can't sleep. It's summer, for Christ's sake. I should be asleep till noon everyday. But no...I wake up even before the crack of dawn and can't get back to sleep EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!

And I blame this all on...

Subway.

A few weeks ago, my body regulated to a sleep schedule of seven to eight pm to three to five-thirty am. It was impossible for me to stay up or wake up at normal hours. Trust me. This is all because of Subway. When I came home from work, I was practically made lame by an unimaginably intense exhaustion. So, I was out pretty early. I knew I had to be awake by nine every day for work, so somehow my body took to giving up on sleep way earlier than that. Don't ask how or why; my body just likes to do things to me that are beyond rational explanation.

And so, now that you know the culprit of this gruesome, bitter problem, I will leave you with one, solitary, yet superior piece of advice....

Packing... It's Tuesday...Which is great because it's almost Wednesday and once Wednesday's over, it's easier to get through the week. We have virtually four or five days till I go back to Simon's Rock. I can't wait!

This week is relax and pack time. Today, my mom and I are taking our cars for oil changes. My car isn't due for another 1,500ish miles, but better safe than sorry, especially because we'll be driving all the way to Mass. There are three more expenses that I need to take care of: the oil change ($15), some gas ($20), and tee shirts ($25). I think I'm going to need to beg my mom for money for the tee shirts, which makes me feel totally guilty, but hey, I have bought at least $30 in groceries for her, so.....

Well, not much else is new around here....just pretty busy getting ready to leave!!!!! Woohoo!!!!

Went Shopping, Spent $200...What Else is New? So, this morning was my first day off in a while and how did I celebrate? I went on a shopping spree at Delia*s and spent most of my paycheck! Of course, I was supposed to start packing, but I procrastinate on tasks that involve suitcases. I'm going to do that Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or maybe Thursday. It's exciting to know that I'll be going back to school in a week from tomorrow. I absolutely can't wait....I need classes and I miss my Josh.

Well, tomorrow I'm going to see my grandma. Ugh. But that'll be a short and sweet visit, hopefully. At least I get to go to Columbus with my mom tomorrow, too. I need to buy socks, slippers, and Sharpies. Well, that's it for now...Take care, peeeeoples.

Entry #1 Well, it's 7:00ish AM and a good time to start a LiveJournal, no? So, I'll begin with a big disclaimer for all my readers...This journal is going to be completely disorganized and probably a huge waste of time for those reading. So, delve in, indulge, and enjoy! It'll be mad sweet!
